GEMS 1.18.4 has the
long awaited candidate cross endorsement feature. Its pretty
self-explanatory to use. To cross endorse a candidate, select that
candidate and press the new xendorse button. Then change the voter group
of the new candidate entry to the endorsement.
We have done very
rudimentary tests with AVOS and BS 4.x (CC hasn't been tried). There are a
lot of local variations and rules regarding cross endorsement. Both GEMS
and the clients probably break a lot of these rules currently. The thing
to do is go through an L&A following the local customs, see what breaks, and
then submit the rcr/bugtrack. Of particular interest are counting rules
(like push) and any new reporting requirements. Now that the cross
endorsement core is in place, implementing the various details will hopefully
not be a huge undertaking.
I believe this is
the last hurdle in the way of Pennsylvania certification. New
York will need the push variant implemented on the clients, but at least
you can now lay out a NY cross endorsed ballot.
